     this is tricky...mute the strings with your fret hand, and then
     use the side of your pick and scratch diagonally across the strings
     as notated (it takes a bit of practice and LOTS of precision, be
     patient):
     X1-right behind neck humbucker, X2-over first coil of neck humbucker
     X3-start behind neck humbucker and go towards bridge humbucker
     (this is a cool effect, and if you fiddle with it, you'll find 
      all sorts of weird harmonic noises between the end of your neck and 
      your bridge pickup...enjoy)

       \ whammy down to about E      X4-start around the 17th fret and 
                                     slide using the side of the pick
                                     (with the pick at about a 30 degree
                                     angle from the strings). Apply 
                                     enough pressure so you can hear 
                                     the notes you scratch across on 
                                     the fingerboard.

        P.H.  whammy down to E       *whammy up 1 whole step, then 
                                      release 1/2 step, then up 
                                      1 1/2 steps. (2 steps above orig.)
                                     *then slide with palm toward nut
